The month of May re lly got

colleague and fellow de ig­

Charles Bartley, and their
female counterpart "We t", flew
into town for a special showing
and the Dayna Eubanks TV

Frankll n Rowe, of Rowe In­

Charle B rUey who is al 0
affectionately called the King

and demeanor that he di play
when wearing hi stately ethnic
wear, pecializes in ethenic
wear and headwrap . King has
hi own gallery in New York that
displays hi clothing and ethenic
wear. Starting as a de Igner at
the age of 12, Bartley ha moved
far ahead becau e hi design
and headwrapa are seen nation­
ally. In addition, Charle' crea­
tions and de ign can be found
in every vein of the church,
especially his church.
Robert Wilson will continue
to prove to be a positive ex­
ample to all in the business.

goals include making Bigin' a
household name and laying a
secure format for our youth.
The dynamic quartet came to

their talents and give the mid­
we t a general idea of what
hould be expected when they
return in the latter part of June.
